Live Beautifully - Cards, Cards, Cards

How about some close ups of some of the cards I have made using this special paper pack that is available during the month of May in honor of National Scrapbooking Month? I will be showing you at least 10 different cards using this wonderful paper pack during this month. Get yours now while supplies last.

For this card I adhered the paper featuring Sea Glass to front of a white card base. On top of this I added the Gold Foil Flower paper, a strip of Gold Dot paper through the middle of the card with Gold & White Twine wrapped around it. I added a second layer of the paper featuring Sea Glass , a piece of white card stock and then a piece of the white with gold dot to make a set of mats that I then adhered to center of card using 3-D Foam Tape. For the final step I embellish card with Thin Cut “Happy Birthday” title cut from Sea Glass card stock.

For this card I adhered the Slate Striped paper to front of card. I then embossed a piece of White Daisy Cardstock with Damask
(retired but you could use any folder) Embossing Folder. I stamped the flower and 3 leaves using Sea Glass Ink and cut them out. I used 3-D foam tape to adhere them to the lower left corner of the card. Finally I stamped ‘Be your own kind of beautiful’ using Whisper Ink on White Daisy
Cardstock, dovetail right hand side, adhere to Slate Stripes and dovetail. Add
title to front of card. Below I have listed the supplies Used to make these cards. Supplies can be purchased at www.craftwithronnie.ctmh.com or by clicking the shopping cart at the top of this blog. As always Happy Crafting!!!

About Me

I am the mother of two grown sons and the wife of a truly amazing guy. I am retired and I am finally getting to do all the things I really love to do and crafting is one of the big ones. I have been crafting in various mediums for years but I have to say I love paper crafting the most. I had used the awesome Close to my Heart products for scrapbooking and card making and knew the quality was great. So I figured why not become a consultant. Something not only to keep me busy post retirement. It doesn't feel like a job because it is a product I believed in and use as well as an opportunity to get with others and craft together. Of course there was the perk of continuing to have a legitimate reason to buy even more of those awesome products. Visit me at www.craftingwithronnie.ctmh.com or www.facebook.com/craftwithronnie
